People like this PISS ME OFF to no end. N.B. My alias here is "Jon Woo".
So, I got a spam email saying "Earn an Accredited Degree Recognized by US Dept of State".
Upon their website, I found an option for "PhD" in "Aerospace Engineering". So, I selected it. I filled out my "resume":
And, despite this, I received an email:
"Congratulations Jonathon T Wooachim, your application has been approved by Fortjones University"
CPAAS works REALLY well then. Bear in mind, try Googling CPAAS system. You'll find nothing on it. It looks to be a made-up name. Wonder what, if any the patents on it are.
Since I was approved via this system, the product they are selling (PhD documents) aren't worth the paper they are printed on. They aren't going to fool any employer, they are just going to scam a prospective employee. (Some would argue that whoever follows through with this deserves to be scammed... you may have a point, but you get a lot of desperate people in this world. This online program is scamming needy people, who feel they need a useless piece of paper to make up for lack of experience.)
To clear a few things up I had to have a live chat with the operator of this blatant scam.
I'm going to try and waste as much time as possible for these guys.

I've built a lot of paper planes in the past. I've also once managed to build an Airfix model kit so I know a lot about how aircraft work. I've also flown on a Boeing 737 so I know how it feels and all. I think I'd know how to engineer a proper aircraft.
